I've made a few careers in the past (PH3, GH:A) and just saw someone wondering about this, so here I have a typed up tutorial on how to build your very own career pack! (And i really don't want to have to type it up again!)

NOTE::: This is the most reliable way to make a career (always works if you follow the directions right. If you don't feel like doing it 100% manually, there are templates, auto-career makers and such available for download in the FOFix thread. I may post links to them here later.

PLEASE STICKY SO IT ISN'T BURIED!!! THIS WILL KEEP AWAY N00BY QUESTIONS!

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CAREER!By::: Razlo7

Simply follow these steps in order:::

1. Add "unlock_id = " to each of the song.ini's in the career pack that you want to make.

2. After "unlock_id = ", put an id for the song (Example::: "unlock_id = gh3_1" that would be the id for the songs of gh3's first tier)

3. For the encore song of that tier you would put the id of the tier (gh3_1) then add "enc" to the end (Example::: "unlock_id = gh3_1enc")

NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!!

4. To make the encore unlockable, you have to put "unlock_require = " into the song.ini as well (NOTE::: if the song doesn't need to be unlocked, then leave that out!) So to make that encore unlockable, you would put the id of the song that needs to be completed to unlock it. The "unlock_require" for the gh3 1st tier encore would be "unlock_require = gh3_1"

5. For each tier, you must change the number in the "unlock_id" after the underscore (_) to the number that the tier will be. (Example::: 2nd tier: "unlock_id = gh3_2", 3rd tier: "unlock_id = gh3_3", etc.)

After you've made the "unlock_id"'s and "unlock_require"'s for all of the songs you want in the career pack, you need to make a "titles.ini"

6. BEFORE MAKING A TITLES.INI, make a folder named for the career pack, and put all the songs for the career pack into that folder. (leave the songs in thier own folders)

7. Now you can make a titles.ini in the folder named for the career pack.

Add as many more tiers as you need, just make sure to leave a blank line between each one, and ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO LEAVE A WHOLE BLANK LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TITLES.INI!

9. Under "[titles]" at the top of the titles.ini, put "sections = " after the equals, put the tier1 tier2 tier3 tier4, etc. and leave a space between each one. You only need to add as many tiers as you are going to have in the career pack.It should look something like this:::

10. Now you need to name the tiers of your career pack. Under the tier number ([tier1], [tier2], etc.) put "name = " and add ANYTHING after that. That will become the name of that tier.

11. On the line under "name = ", put "unlock_id = " and put the id that you used for the songs of that tier (Example for tier2, the unlock id would be "unlock_id = gh3_2", just like the id of the song.ini's for tier2 songs.)

Finally, you should have your titles.ini looking something like this::: (when done, also yours will have the id's of whatever your career is.)

NOTE::: If you are going to have more than 10 tiers, you MUST put a zero in front of single digits for the IDs!! (Thanks to ADH for the reminder) And you can only have ONE unlock_id under each of the tiers in the titles.ini!

ALSO, you can make part of the songs in the tier unlocked, then another part, THEN the encore by adding changing those parts into "unlock_id = gh3_1a" or whatever would correspond to your career. BUT, you will also have to change the "unlock_require = " to the part that needs to be completed.

GOOD LUCK!!! AND HAPPY CAREER MAKING!!! (Tell me if I left something out, or if it isn't working.)

Haha thanks Yea a lot of people seem to be wanting to make thier own careers, but have no idea how to do it, and there's no tutorials (at least that I could find) So this should help alot!

Easy peasy. To order songs within a tier, use a decimal in the unlock_id. So for example, the first song in the 2nd tier for Guitar Hero III (gh3_2) would be unlock_id=gh3_2.1 . The 2nd would be gh3_2.2, and so on.

Razlo, you may want to add this detail to your first post.

Okay but can you add this line alone "unlock_id = gh3_2", in the titles.ini or do you have to add:unlock_id = gh3_2.1unlock_id = gh3_2.2unlock_id = gh3_2.3unlock_id = gh3_2.4?

---- EDIT ----Edit:I thought that this was removed in fofix a long time ago. I allready know that this worked quite a few months ago as I organized a album that I was trying (still am but not as frequently) to make like this.

Second edit:I just tried doing this too one artist in my collection with albums as tiers but for some reason all songs end up on the previus album/tier, although sorting with the point system works like a charm. :) (unlock_id = #two digit number of album#_firnedlyalbumname_#twodigit track number#)

Thanks.

Oh yeah forgot to mention that the first tier is empty. I'll see what happens if I add a song there.

Third edit:Okay I have no idea what's wrong.Inside the spolier is my full titles.ini, lines in bold represent songs present, underline means that I have tried without that line. Oh and I've triple checked the songs present for any typos on the unlock_id line...
